Another thing I hate is guys that drive nice, fast sports cars … 10-20 miles per hour below the speed limit. These guys kill me.

The ones we have where I work are surprisingly good. What I hate is when a co-worker down the hall is calling someone, leaves the phone on speaker while dialing, and lets it ring and ring and ring for 2 minutes.

Hey, genius, if they’re not gonna answer in the first minute, they’re not bloody likely to answer in the second minute either. And, if I can hear it all the way down the hall, you can turn it down some.

Rant completed. (On the bright side, my team is moving buildings soon, and I will no longer be down the hall from the same people as I currently am.)

ROGUE != ROUGE.

I don't know how many times I see this at work, when someone is talking about a rogue (unapproved) network device. I really don't think people here are concerned with red network devices.

All this while everyone's got their windows & doors open to get some ventilation.

Glad to be moving next week!
